Abstract

Thyroid cancers account for 0.5-3.0% of all childhood malignancy. But these cancers are extremely rare in paediatric age group before the age of 6 years. Although the disease is biologically more aggressive in children when compared with adults, the prognosis is better in several series. We report and discuss a case of 6 years old child with papillary thyroid carcinoma, which is the youngest reported case in Bangladesh.
